Putting up all the decorations. My mom has loads of little things to put around the house, so it's so fun. ^^ I also love all the Christmas movies.

Frosty the Snowman, Rudolf, Charlie Brown's Christmas, A Christmas Story, etc. Old, but SO good. This year I'm finally gonna get around to watching It's a Wonderful Life. ^^

It's not Christmas until I dance in or watch The Nutcracker. This year I had to watch, but hopefully next year.... Even more than that though, I love the music. And no, I don't mean Jingle Bell Rock and Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. I mean the stuff that really reminds you what Christmas is all about. Some of the carols are really beautiful, and there are so many great arrangements of them.

The tick-or-treating.

^lol.

I forgot to add the Nutcracker. I never get tired of watching it. I love how diffrent companies put their own things on it.

Mostly I just enjoy going to grandmother's house and spending time with the family.

The Christmas spirit(s) *hic*.

It's fun to get together with everyone and have a lot of good food. There's always the traditional smorgasbord too.

The whole giving (and getting) of gifts is of course a pretty big thing, but also love being blanketed in Christmas specials and carols and stuff. Sort of an excuse to be sappy for a month (aside from my occasional blast of annoyance over people's attempts to de-spiritualize the whole thing, but that's something else entierly)

When everyone opens their gifts. And hopefully likes what I got them. ^^;

Family

Postby **Joshua Christopher** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 12:33 pm

Joking aside, the only part that I really care about is that my friend loved the gifts I got her, so that's what counts.

Postby **Debitt** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 1:03 pm

Getting and giving presents. Aside from celebrating our Lord's birth, there really isn't much else I like about Christmas. ^_^;;;

Postby **termyt** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 7:05 pm

Celebrating my Lord's birth.

Visiting and eating with family.

Christmas decorations in the season's first snows. I love snow in December - there's nothing quite like it.

Everything!!!! \^.^/

As Garfield once said, "It's not the giving. It's not the getting.

It's the loving. Merry Christmas."

And a birthday party for Jesus when we get the presents? It's a little messed up that way, but I'm not complaining!

I also like Christmas cookies, stockings, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and changing my computer for that wonderful coming time when Jesus was born at last.

Snowball fights. With Rocks.

The food!!!!! whoohooo!

I absolutely love buying presents for other people, as long as I have the time and money to devote to getting them a gift they'll absolutely love. I like bringing a smile to someone's face n_n I also love the Christmas lights. One of my favorite things to do during the Christmas time is to drive around at night and just look at all the Christmas lights.

And I don't know how to explain it, but...the Christmas season just has this...feeling. It's cold outside, but the season just has a warm emotional feel to it, for me, anyway.

Yes: exactly. I was sick one Christmas, but it was still wonderful, because I was with my family, and basically curled up under a quilt all day. Christmas (and snow -- I still haven't quite grown out of that) seem magical and wonderful to me.

Getting is better than giving(slightly). It's about the gifts (plus the spirit that comes with it)

In my case, anyway.
